Factors Affecting School Principals' Job Satisfaction
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper, using Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) data for 2013, we explore factors that may affect school principals' job satisfaction across 33 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member and nonmember countries. Our results indicate that higher private spending on education, as a percentage of GDP, tends to increase reported job satisfaction. Furthermore, school principals working at privately-managed and financed schools report higher job satisfaction than those working at publically-managed and financed schools. Gender and work experience as a school principal also play significant roles in determining principals' job satisfaction. (J44, J45, I2)
